I acquired my first set of V3s (plated versions) for ~$3k in 2020. I acquired my second set (also plated) in 2021 for ~$3,300. As much as I like them, especially for road tour / rally use, I cringe at the current $4k+ price tag (for the now painted versions). Ugh.
Nitron estimated price is ~$6,500.

Alas, no links, but I'll inquire.
As seen at ERP's Air|Water 2025 booth...
...The upper A-arm mount is pretty slick, but I can't imagine many 993 owners will be cutting up their chassis for it. OTOH, I've driven a 993 with, among other things, ERP's RS uprights, on the road and at the track, and I'd be DELIGHTED to have that setup on a 993, if I can ever afford one. ;-)
ERP upright (a.k.a. legit suspension p0rn) slated for a 964 RS...

The machining could use some finer finish passes but that is clearly a far from finished part. Not sure how I feel about the bolt on nature of the spindle and toe link arm.....

Yes, relatively unknown in the Porsche world, especially the air cooled hemisphere. They have had Lotus offerings for a long time, single, double, triple adjustables, etc. I had double adjustable, remote reservoir versions on my Elise track car for 14k miles and 100+ track days. They were excellent, both more comfortable (even with considerably higher rate springs) and provided more body control than the Lotus factory Bilstein Sport package suspension. I did have them rebuilt at that point, but I am totally happy with their performance / longevity, given the severity of my use case.

Yessir. That's a 3D printed item.
Note the silver fitting near the bottom of the body. That's for the double adjustable version's external canister. The single adjustable version will not require a remote reservoir.
